Management

Todd Kelman | Managing Director

The 2019/20 season will be Todd Kelman's 6th season in charge of the Devils. In his 5-year tenure, the Devils have won 3 Erhardt Conference titles, 2 Challenge Cups, 2 League Championships and back to back Playoff Titles. His partnership with Andrew Lord has seen the Devils enjoy 5 of the most entertaining and successful seasons in Devils history. This on ice success has been mirrored in attendance figures with season tickets up over 300% since Kelman and the Canadian ownership consortium took over the Devils in July 2014.

Kelman took over the management of the Devils after seven successful seasons as the General Manager of the Belfast Giants. Previously he played for the Giants and was a member of their first ever roster, where his jersey number (44) is now retired. In his seven years as GM Kelman’s teams won five Championships including two of the previous three league titles before coming to Cardiff.

Kelman has an MBA from Queens University in Belfast and an undergrad degree from Bowling Green University in Ohio where he played four years of NCAA College Hockey before turning pro. Kelman is married to Shauna and they have two sons, Matteo and Noah.
